Ok, it's looking more and more like we're going to have to lay the smack down on this country pretending to be a power. And I understand that this hostage situation is serious, but come on, how can you read this letter and not laugh?

Dear Mum & Dad,

I am writing to you from Iran where I am being held. I will try to explain to you the best what has happened. We were out in the boats when we were arrested by Iranian forces as we had apparently gone into Iranian waters. I wish we hadn't because then I'd be home with you all right now. I am so sorry we did, because I know we wouldn't be here now if we hadn't. I want you all to know that I am well and safe. I am being well looked after. I am fed three meals a day and have a constant supply of fluids.

The people are friendly and hospitable, very compassionate and warm. I have written a letter to the Iranian people to apologize for us entering into their waters. Please don't worry about me, I am staying strong. Hopefully it won't be long until I am home to get ready for Molly's birthday party with a present from the Iranian people.

Look after everyone for me, especially Adam and Molly.

I love you all more than you will ever know.

All my love,

Faye

I can just see President Amidendijadiajihadislami pecking away on his typewriter thinking "this will surely convince them!".

[Sly Fox]

Come, that's so far away.

[Innocent Bystander]

My favorite part of this whole fiasco is that Iran provided the coordinates that they captured the sailors. After the Brits pointed out that the coordinates were in Iraqi waters, the Iranians provided a new set of coordinates.

Never let facts get in the way of a good story.

[Hold My Own]

I'm unaware of this...they havent mentioned this on Sportscenter or PTI right?


My grandparents make fun of me for that.

Grand ma: "HMO did you hear about this"
Grand pa: "Of course not he doesnt read the paper or watch the news"


can we do a current events thread on here...I need to educate myself

[TDDance234]

It's time to play Blair back for having our backs.

[ATrain]

You could tell this was fake right from the beginning..."Dear Mom and Dad," HAHAHA...doesn't President Terroristdude know that the British pronounce and spell it "Mum," unlike us Americans. This is perhaps the worst attempt at faking something that I have seen.

Now, lets go rescue our allies

[BJWilliams]

and blow Iran off the face of the earth while we're at it

[thepostman]

good idea BJ....then what do we do after that??? I am now intrigued

[LUconn]

We send DJBJ to spin some tunes on a loudspeaker. The muslim nations will be so pacified by contemporary Christian music, they'll have no will to fight back.

[Libertine]

How about workin' some of those teleportation skills, BJ? You know what I'm talkin' about.

I SAILED along the Persian Gulf.
I never thought Id meet Iranians like you;
Meet Iranians like you.
With .50 Cals and AKA's;
The kind of Guns that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I SWAM, I SWAM so far away.
I just SWAM I SWAN all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

A Mullah appears on your Bow;
A beam of light comes shining down from you,
Shining down from you.
Akmedinajads moving nearer still.
The Crazy Persian comes in view;
The Persian comes in view.

And I SWAM, I SWAM so far away.
I just SWAM, I SWAM all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

Reached out a hand to SLAP your face;
Youre slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
Im floating in Persian Gulf with you;
The Persian Gulfwith you.

And if you are TRUE 80's fan:
IF the SAS does go and use their skills and TELECOMMUICATION to rescue their hostages, I am sure that their HEARTBEAT LIKE A DRUM. But their spouses will know that this is no longer A SPACE AGE LOVE SONG (while WISHING they HAD A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU) it will be proven again the MODERN LOVE IS AUTOMATIC!!

Who knew The 'gulls had so many hits?


And I SWAM, I SWAM so far away.
I just SWAM, I SWAM all night and day.
I couldnt get away.

And if you are TRUE 80's fan:

Shhh!!! Don't tell anyone

[whmatthews]

We just need to drop a nuke over there and build a Wal-Mart right in the middle of it.

[ATrain]

Or drop a nuke and build a parking lot for LU

[whmatthews]

Make that the pit for freshman parking. You think Liberty can get a transit boat to go over the Atlantic?

[qkslvrsrfrboy]

We just need to drop a nuke over there and build a Wal-Mart right in the middle of it.

i dont know why, but this reminded me of the dane cook joke about when he met the atheist who laughed at dane for thinking there is a god, but the atheist thought after death you become a tree, and danes response was "ya know, i hope he does turn into a tree, then while hes doing his tree thing, a man comes, cuts him down, takes him to a factory, mashes him down into paper, and then once hes paper, you print the bible on him". sorry, that was way random, but its funny, go listen to his new cd haha

[4everfsu]

Maybe we could build LU Far EAST?
